Accu Clear (Blue Dye) - Evap Examples

Just wanted to post these pics for those who have questions about thin blue lines! These are examples of an evaporation line. (No need to tell me to test again with a Pink test....I know these suck, but I'm pretty sure I'm out this month, anyway!)

Yeeesh. Note to self: do not by blue dye tests. . .
Nothing like false hope to make the TTC journey absolutely heart wrenching. . .as if it weren't hard enough to see a BFN, you think you have a BFP and then whamo, apparently not

So, just out of curiosity, how are you certain these are evap lines? where these pics taken hours after you took the test, within minutes of taking the test and did you get blood work that proved without a doubt you weren't pregnant? The only reason I ask is because before I got pregnant with my two year old I was getting tests like this. I kept pushing with my doctor who eventually have in a did a blood test. An hour later she calls me back with a positive result. Three days later of started bleeding and my hcg levels were almost gone already. It was a chemical pregnancy, but all the so called evap lines really weren't.

They showed up after about half an hour to an hour. And I have gotten lines like these midcycle as well as during my period. Definitely the result of crappy tests, not pregnancy.

That would explain the evap lines. I had some that looked like this but showed up within seconds to a few minutes. I got these results for about two weeks and now I can't even get an evap line. My only conclusion is that I had yet another chemical.

Thanks for posting this, Andie. I had the same thing happen in August, thought I was pregnant, and AF showed the day I went for bloodwork, which was negative. One test showed after the time limit and the other two showed thin blue lines as soon as the moisture hit them. I think it is awful that these tests are still sold! I was always told a line is a line is a line and I had no clue that these tests could be so misleading.

I took an accu clear blue dye test and got what i think to be a faint pos. The line was not a solid skinny line, is more like thick blue at the tp where the line should be and thick blue at the bottom where the line should be. I think it is a faint positive but i also didnt notice it for a few hours, bc it was very early in the morning and i just saw what i assumed to be a negative line, so i went back to bed depressed before the reccommended 10 min.

Its good you posted these for others to see, It is sad that even some women that are pregnant get lines that look like evaps. Those evil tests keep people buying them, but they should be more reliable instead of us women loosing money and them gaining!
